Dena Bank shares on Saturday rose almost 1 percent to close the day's special trading session at Rs 94 on NSE.

Net interest income or the difference between interest earned and paid out, fell 6 percent y-o-y to Rs 562 crore during the quarter.

"The fall was mainly due to higher provisions and contingences.....Higher provision is on non-performing assets of Rs 143 crore as against Rs 106 crore Y-o-Y and depreciation on investment at Rs 98 crore as against Rs 38 crore a year back," the bank said in a release.

A reversal of excess provision at Rs 89 crore from the earlier year (FY12) saved the lender from reporting further erosion of profit. Tax expenses, net of previous years reversal, stood at a negative of Rs 67 crore. This means, net profit without the net tax write-back would have plunged more than 77 percent to just Rs 58 crore in Q4, FY13.
